willingness to move too many inmates in not enough space. in their crime another. $100.00 already have and i'm with the start of the world america is a. combination exploding in america what are we going to prison population or just want to. die. right or is it are going to die. a shocking new number was released today and it deserves our undivided attention one out of every 100 americans is now behind bars walked up to prison or in jail. through the most important thing. as to talk from your heart if you

have more than one child given like an overall message but then do an individual one to each child throw them a kiss talk to them about what you do daily the rest should be just you if you've written a poor we've had people pray we've had people saying one guy showed his little boy how to shoot a basket the creative. these are gifts to your children. the families are punished right along with. they have found people don't think so but the collateral consequences of somebodies incarceration effects not just that whole family but it affects the whole community and affects you as an individual or the you know whether or not and whether you know that person or not that's incarcerated. to pay inform. you should care. i have

a background in film and video as a producer and i thought there's got to be something i can do so why not combine my career and my experience with the present system and come up with something for these kids. in that camera. and that they can look at them and say. you know this isn't your fault you did nothing wrong it means a lot and for many of these men and women it's the 1st time they've really taken responsibility which is huge and that's a 1st step in recovery of any kind anytime is to take responsibility for. but even with. this. very minute. i was going to go to the movie i'm going to do the best they can to stay out of this booth. for.

good this. it's been the way. this once you go the good numbers can we be with. the. next chapter. from 10221970 this whole half century of american history the rate of incarceration was roughly level or about $110.00 per 100000. and this is a broad span of our history this is the ruling twenty's and prohibition the depression and all the social change the world war 2 the post-war economic boom the the the fifty's the explosion of suburbia the sixty's and all the social turbulence through this whole period the rate of incarceration is roughly level in the united

states at about $110.00 per $100.00 times and this reflects you know the policies of police departments and prosecutors and judges operating all over the country in the local and state level and then in the 1970 this all changes so that by now the rate of incarceration issue why just over 700 $73.00 requests are issue for african-americans is over $4400.00 and so you have to wonder how does what she why did this half century of stability get ended with this dramatic increase of incarceration in spades america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse once the federal government decided that we're going to have war on drugs they were able to then take a lot of money from the federal budget and send it out states helped by real. the

need for money to deal with this problem and i am glad that in this your ministration we have increased the amount of money more heavily in the problem of dangerous drugs 7 it will be 600000000 dollars this year more money will be needed in the future and virtually everybody thought the drug war was the number $1.00 issue and so you had politicians in both parties and you know district attorneys and elected sheriff everybody wanted to get in to drug cases and get aggressive about new laws to punish them new agents to arrest the new prosecutors to convict them and new prisons to hold them. we move the train when i was very young when we moved here we moved you know to mill a home we used to always roll up and down the hallways of course it was the projects so sometimes we will sneak up on the roof which was the top floor 12th

floor and you know look out and of course i was very scared as a young child but you know when you live in the projects it's always so much stuff that you can get into my brother was tragically killed when he was ran over by a truck and i remember pacifically going to the corner with a habanera and seeing all the blood because they left all the blood still in the street the traumatic experience to losing my only brother and that truck x. and i know it had done something to me you know drugs from our state that time was hard all the way because my son was doing drugs my nephews was 2 and drugs my niece was doing drugs my sisters with doing drugs and it was like an epidemic. of drug abuse. and i cannot explain. i cannot explain my feelings because i had at that time i didn't know how i felt you know i was sad because i felt like they were shunned in their lives but there was not the not to

do about. to change their lifestyle. how was it. after my brother passed away i kind of withdrew from a lot of things i didn't talk as much i was very quiet all probably as early as my teenage years 01213 years old you know i started sneaking a drink in a little bit here and there started smoking marijuana at a very young age i started all selling drugs in you know he came right along with. the family you tend to trust family when i 1st saw him and that within the whole way and i used to be a hopeless for monetary and i was station right in front of his locker so when i knew that he was coming to his locker i would put my he is that unlike black youth

weight. so he would have to say excuse me something in at that we started talking we got to know each other you know at the walk in our home many times in and out over at her house. you know my home. wasn't really a home compared to her house margaret grew up with her parents before the parents or the nice decent house great mother great father. something that i didn't have and i started you know just being around her a lot and being around family law and next thing you know you know it's pretty much you know once we started going to get i was pretty was there another house and 14 years old i was pretty much stay in there because my mom was on drugs she knows she knew i was there she really didn't have a problem with it but i kind of started you know living this day with morgan and a very young age. by the time i was 1617 i was fully engulfed in a drug game and it is only was so big for this. and 7.5 square miles so

a lot of rumors are stardust britain belonged to the train detective back then they had to take to that one high school and they kind of got to know me very well and i guess they relayed that information to the trade narcotics and they started watching me and follow me around the stuff like that and i remember the 1st time that they that they raided my house i wasn't there but my mother was near and i was i think i just turned 17 and um they locked her up and i got a phone call saying that you know your mother was locked up and they want you to turn yourself in. so i visually i turned myself in a 17 a let my mother go and i 1st time ever going to joe i went to you found because i was an 18 i was only still still a juvenile we waited still in high school and we missed the prom. when i got out i remember the detective telling me that you know as soon as i turned 18

and it was going to come back and give me and if i didn't straighten out my life that 1st spears would be nothing compared to other experiences in jail because then i would be over 18 and i would be going into a dull facility. most historians look at the origin of the war on drugs as something of president nixon with his speeches and his creation of of the d.n.a. and other agencies in the 1970 s. but the war and drugs as we understand it with. nor enormous case loads and and in and filled up prison population is really a feature of the 1980 s. under president reagan drugs are menacing our society they're threatening our values and undercutting our institutions they're killing our children under reagan there was a tremendous increase in federal spending for anti drug activity cabinet level efforts and congress creating bring powerful new laws on day 2 of

a new campaign against drug the president backed up a tough talk with action for getting tough on drugs and we mean business it's almost like overnight we had disgraced idea what we go after the users. and that's what we did we started going after the users in a prison population seward because obviously they're far more users than her operations major operations in. we started treating sick people people who were addicted to drugs might remember talking to my grandmother and having a conversation with her about my wife and how far i had fallen she said to me you know tracy it will always pray for you and i'm going to pray that you change your life around. here one of the things that she said to stuck with me was that you know god is going to far in your darkest hour and only there when you realize who you truly your and i heard her but i really didn't hear her. and i left her house that they skip and then it went right back out into the streets. i remember going

to new york to cobb then coming back from new york coming down route one coming through your county we had drugs in the car and we had a gun in the car. and i remember being stopped at a light and get now switching drivers i got around to the passenger side and she took to the pharmacy and not knowing that it was a cop car right behind us so once again i didn't want to go to court i was going to try. i told my laura that you know we just have to try to get all the charges pushed together get me one so does let me go do my time and hopefully straight up my life i remember pacifically the judge sits in just telling me that element to tom losing. and he said tracy you could bring to the 1980 you know you can begin again in 1980 he said come back before me for the 3rd time in the 3rd time is going to be a chore for you. magic

mushroom serious doubts and contacts used in the wrong way carry carry potential arms like any any psychoactive substances. but used in the right way they seem to have quite a. profound therapy to potential and quite a good safety i phone is wild. this is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litterbugs are throwing this away industry should be boy and for all this waste to company has long promised to reuse the plastic. it's to cook at susie's feet so. that seems cool sets for their class of course the only and i

need to stay on your own is at a special projects funded he tells it. online your best bet is the end of a footy team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. yet. the direction to a judge to sentence can be done in 2 ways you can say judge here's

a crime and for this crime you can impose a sentence anywhere in this range from probation to some term of years in prison and the other way is to say judge you must impose some minimum number of years or months of imprisonment and go up from there so a mandatory minimum this is sentence where no matter how minor the. role of the offender no matter how insignificant a violation of this crime it is a minimum term must be imposed mandatory minimum sentences are not new they've been on the books in this country for 200 years and there are about 190 of them or something and if you look at them they read like the crimes as you are so you can see what the public was concerned about and then congress took that concern and translated it into law and to let sentencing legislation so piracy on the high seas in like 790 s. got

a life without parole robbing banks and crossing state lines in 1934 was you know 10 years of prison skyjacking in the seventy's for as 10 or 20 years in prison and so you can see the you know what was the point the headlines were the headlines were translated into a mandatory sentence and so in the eighty's when drugs became a big deal and lots of concern about drugs it was in the top 3 of public concern congress reacted by creating new mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes which congress sent to president reagan was 5 years me to the minimum 5 grams of crack cocaine grams likes we. can years minimum is 50 grand of crack cocaine that's like the weight of a kid or these are tiny kuan it's all based on one factor your sentence you know how what was a drug and how much of it did you have and that determines your sentence so

culpability no longer really plays a major role in a person's a person sentence when the crime carries a mandatory minimum when president reagan signed the mandatory minimums and 96 the federal prison population was $36.00. now it's well over 200 girls this is a growth that no one could have imagined mass incarceration in the u.s. is really unique in human history. there's no democratic nation that's ever tried to have such a mess social experiment as we've done in incarceration and we've got more prisoners than any other country in the. numbers i mean i find it a bit disturbing that we have more prisoners from china and they have a 1000000000 more people than we do i don't think it gives people enough when they hear that we have 25 percent of the world's prison population and only 5 percent of the world's population in other words we are way over incarcerating compared to any other country in the world.

had allowed. somebody is a storage in a mine and police found it and they came after me i ended up literally holding the bag. i knew nothing about the criminal justice system you know here i was this middle class. career never even a parking ticket and it was quite a surprise when we went to court. i had that kind of time marijuana. and i was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute money going to conspiracy to murder i received a total of 55 year prison sentence the judge suspended all but 6 i was fortunate enough. to make the 1st parole and i actually served in prison 14 months. is the cards that we've put in

with the messages and asked the families to respond so we've gotten some really good responses and this one was 3 fem up 3 members of the family viewed it. and we ask what were the ages of the children who saw it she put just want to put 6 . she says an extremely meaningful for the daughter of a mother who is incarcerated she. we all did. and this one said our what did the messenger mean to your family to know their family was ok that's a huge part of this phone who want to know that their families have had their mom or dad say ok. this is their sole shoulders they do know that in 3 years or so you have you seen. this show solos going to agree leave pretty sure is that you don't freak. doesn't your fault just very loving show phone anyone else in the family love done that show me feel you to fold has been me. the role of

a lot of this town these last 34 years going to the last. go. swan say the. very 1st. they said is me too one year administrative segregation and mistress of occasion is 23 hour long going to be locked up 23 hours each day you come out for half hour shower and a half hour break i know a bit of olive person. at that time i was treated like one of the worst phone persons in the world i remember going into this i believe maybe if i buy a cell. i was dead or close i knew i was going to be there for the next year is

this an experience that it is going to make your break you know you're going to come out a better person are you going to come out of worship person than you were before you went in and. being in a hole is mirrors that i wouldn't wish on anybody. but you locked up for 23 hours i think you can do in. my words i'm going to grandmother just kept playing over and over again in my mind and those were. as was the guy i was going to buy me my dog and. you know what i realize who are ritually was what i kept hearing. and i am at. my lowest. and. i think right there i realized i had reached my lowest point in life and that the only on the way for me to go from here. another crime another criminal kind of thing that already fed up with the real is right politician for the solution is simple crackdown the reason the criminal justice system isn't working

is that we're not sending enough people to jail and keeping there long enough that people are saying general way that they were to lock these rascals up and keep them there for a long shot during the 1980 s. there was a major shift in the congress and in state legislatures have thout how long sentences should be the public was a long term by increasing rates of crime from the 1970 s. and early eighty's and they wanted longer sentences they wanted cracking down and that's what happened across the board for all kinds of crimes not only the mandatory minimum drug sentences the effect of all those sensing laws was not just to increase the sentences that people were exposed to so the people were serving longer time in prison than they did before it was also to take the discretion away from the sentencing discretion away from judges and juries and shifted over to prosecutors it didn't limit it discretion it just gave prosecutors. the power to

determine what your sentence was going to be by making charging decisions and even by bargaining over what the facts of your case were so it didn't mean that discretion it was eliminated from the system it just put the prosecutors in charge . every year is born in 1968 and she was very very shy but by the time. that in high school people can sat it in or she played basketball she made good grades high school that we went to was 7th through 12th grade and i was kind of the little tagalong sister. me and my brother were friends and i mean my sister we're friends just kind of watch sure she was. always really friendly only showing nice this is a small town and everybody knows everybody but she got in trouble we'd know about it. i had what i consider an idyllic childhood. and some point when i'm in

college i mean guy that works for southwest times record the newspaper there in fort smith arkansas and he asked me if i would be a subject for him to go out and take some modeling photos we went to like several locations and he instilled in me that i really ought to pursue a modeling career consider my mother says to get you know i mean ralston moved to dallas and my gosh no you know mom wants us but she thinking was she going to do it so i think she's going to model so i created a little portfolio before i went to dallas that i could show to the modeling agencies fandy it was well bred well traveled well educated graduated stanford law school i had gone to princeton theology school so it was it was very appealing to be around somebody who i was frankly very impressed with and so fascinated with and 8 months later we were getting married at the dallas arboretum and all of our

family and friends were there and it was at that point seemed like a dream come true. there were red flags before we got married there were there were frankly there were red flags all along the way sandy has what i consider to be a dual personality you know and that this other character would emerge whenever i don't literally. had to do something radical. the only remedy to remove him from my life was for me to leave dallas i had to leave dallas and i'd leave all my friends behind and completely. move to a different city and they sadly sandy. that he wouldn't leave her i just kept saying you know let's be friends let's be friends he wanted it to be more so he told me that he was going to and that i never heard anything for a while word got back to me that he'd been arrested. i hadn't been in dallas in

over a year so of the only thing i knew to do was to book a flight to dallas to see if i could go through the house listen to the answering machine and try to piece this thing together and eventually you're going to find out more information and while i was in the dallas house the phone rang and it was sandy's german legal counsel who had been assigned to the case in germany and at that time he. gave me very spend details but said that sandy had been arrested for manufacturing ecstasy and that he wanted to retain ready an attorney for him there dallas it was a pretty interesting revelation but i did there was money in the safe that was in the house in dallas and i took that money and i retained an attorney to go over and meet with germany. 7 months after sandy has been arrested and i pull into the

garage of my car as rushed by law enforcement people who are screaming and have a gun out and they're pointing at my face i'm being told you know you're in hot water we know that your husband was arrested we know you know we know you visited him in germany and they said we know you have information and all you have to do is just tell us what you know and i wasn't going to. saying anything because i'm literally watching these people destroying my mom's isn't somebody that i really want to confide in and so i have it wasn't very long after that that my lawyer explained to me exactly what ideas that my prosecutor won and they wanted her to wear a wire. and try to m.k. other people people she didn't even know and. she what she refused to do it she said i don't know these people now i'm not going to do this and this prosecutor said you your. paraphrasing you here cooperate or will ruin your life.

as i'm at the end i thought of it but i meant. no of those going up in the form of a feeling you know it's going to be. nice. if you can do is you know we're going to see a more local scene. this is a serious issue for a player for 2 loaves without. the. the . magic mushrooms new stance of contacts used in the wrong way carry her a potential arms like any any psychoactive substances. but used in the right way they seem to have quite a. profound 32 potential and quite a good safety profile as well.
